Working on some family history and ran across a reference to a Montana Railroad. Listed in CB & T railway? Aprox time frame early 1920s. Have tried normal searches with no results! Wondered if any member might have some information! Thanks Tom Weaver

Crow Reservation Big Horn Montana maybe this will help!
That would be the CB&Q. Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy RR. BNSF today.
It is the line I worked on for 30 years. Enters the Crow Reservation 3 miles west of Parkman, WY at MP 727 and exits Crow Reservation at Hardin, MT MP 782 at the Big Horn River bridge.
Then skirts the edge of the reservation for another 60 miles to Billings, MT.
Passes by the Custer Battlefield memorial (Battle of the Little Bighorn) and Crow Agency, MT at MP 770.
The "towns" of Custer, MT and Big Horn, MT are about 35 miles north of Hardin and are on the former Northern Pacific Rwy, today BNSF. That line however is not on the Crow Reservation.
